About us
The University of Luxembourg is an international research university with a distinctly multilingual and interdisciplinary character.
The Faculty of Science, Technology and Medicine (FSTM) at the University of Luxembourg contributes multidisciplinary expertise in the fields of Mathematics, Physics, Engineering, Computer Science, Life Sciences and Medicine.
Through its dual mission of teaching and research, the FSTM seeks to generate and disseminate knowledge and train new generations of responsible citizens in order to better understand, explain and advance society and environment we live in.
The Department of Health, Medicine and Life Sciences (DHML) is part of the Faculty of Science, Technology and Medicine of the University of Luxembourg. The department coordinates all teaching programmes in medicine, life sciences, nursing, radiography and midwifery and collaborates closely with national healthcare providers as well as leading international biomedical research institutions.
Research within the department integrates basic and translational, molecular and computational approaches, with a particular focus on cancer biology, alongside clinical research on human health and disease. The University of Luxembourg has set medicine and health as strategic priority areas and is actively expanding its education and research activities in these domains, creating strong opportunities in medical, biomedical, and mental health fields.
Since 2023, the University has launched several Bachelor of Science programmes in specialised nursing, including surgery, anaesthesia/resuscitation, paediatrics, and psychiatry. The Bachelor in General Nursing Care programme was introduced in September 2024, followed in September 2025 by additional programmes in Midwifery and Technical-Medical Radiology Assistance.
These programmes are based on experiential and person-centred pedagogical approaches, integrating advanced technologies and hands-on training in hospitals, outpatient clinics, and care centres, in close collaboration with national and international partners.
